Revision as of 06:23, 14 November 2012

Quite a few newbies are missing the reminder at the top of the talk pages. My suggestion:

~~~~

This is a talk page, so please add four tildes ~~~~ to the end of your comments to include your signature. (Or use the signature button at the top of the page.) Thanks!

I think it's a losing battle. It happens all the time on Wikipedia. I don't think if they can't get it under control, that we could do much better. But that's the defeatist in me. lcarsos (talk) 03:18, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

If we give up trying, we'll never solve it. Maybe they're missing the text at the top of the page cuz it's not immediately obvious, and they can't see it. My proposed text should alleviate that.Davidy22(talk) 04:01, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

EDIT: So apparently, you can't make text bigger in a notice template. Mediawiki fixplx. Davidy22(talk) 00:04, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
